A C5 Corvette has a transaxle right. Does that mean it doesnt loose as mush HP from the motor to the wheels?

Does that mean it doesnt loose as mush HP from the motor to the wheels? Corvette owners please answer. Thanks.


What is meant by transaxle is that the transmission is combined with the differential. In a Corvette the transmission in in the rear of the car for better weight distribution and to save space. The half-shafts come directly out of the transaxle to the wheels. It is much like a setup for an Oldsmobile Toronado or a Cadillac Eldorado which have front-wheel-drive longitudinally mounted engines as opposed to Japanese cars with transversly mounted engines. The Corvette has just as much HP as it would with a regular transmission/ differential setup, it is just for weight distrubution.

how do i put a weed whack motor in a power wheels corvette?
Corvette Stingray.-

i took all the wiring out of my power wheels and i need to no how to put weed whack motor in it. can some one tell me how to do this.


Just like putting a transplanted engine into anything. Manufacture mounts to bolt it in place, create a drive line that gets the power to the wheels (probably the hardest part) and set about to construct it. At every step you will discover something you forgot and eventually the whole mess will end up in the trash.

Will Newer corvette Wheels fit on my 2003 Xtreme S10?
Corvette Stingray.-

will these fit on my truck without too much hassle? http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Corvette-Whee ls/By-Finish/Black-Machined-Lip/18-Corve tte-Z06-Wheels-p5353276.html
Bolt pattern for an S10 is 5x4.75 inches or 5x120.5 millimeters.
i dont think they will fit, i believe the widest i can go is 8.5-9 in.


They share the same bolt pattern. You might end up needing spacers, but many people put vette wheels on S10s. Width will become a deciding factor.

it is 5 on 4.75" or 5x120.7mm

will 2006 corvette wheels fit on a 2000?
1992 Corvette

i want to buy a set of wheels for a 2000 corvette. The stock sizes are Front: P245/45ZR-17 Rear: P275/40ZR-18....I want the 2006 and newer size instead which are: Front: P245/40ZR-18 and Rear: P245/35ZR-19.


I do not own a corvette, so I cannot say for sure 100%, so don't take my word for it, but I will say I have seen a few guys with C5 corvettes put C6 wheels on their cars, and they seemed to fit perfectly.....If I were you, I would simply go to a Discount Tire store in your area and ask them, they will know for sure the bolt pattern of your car.

  • Difficulty with C6 vibration - SmokinVette.com Forums

    For me, it has always been tires. I've had this problem 3 times now; twice it was because I had a hole plugged up in the tire; they removed the tire, plugged it up, remounted and rebalanced it but there was always some slight vibration around 70-80MPH. The third time I don't remember why but the vibration came back and it again went away after I changed tires... For me, it has always been tires.
